We knew the beta for BC Classic was close and now we also know it coming in March, and we may be seeing it as early as next week!
In a leaked mail spotted by zon3tknew3, Blizzard staff have been asked to submit their friends and family for the upcoming Closed Beta, and that the submissions should be turned in by March 15th at the latest. The other big thing to note from the mail is that the Closed Beta is scheduled to start "later this month", meaning we might be seeing it as early as next week, or if not, almost certainly the week after that.

It's unclear what form the Closed Beta will take and just how many players will get invited, but we should be hearing details on that pretty soon since it's so close now! So just in case you haven't yet, go and sign up for the beta!

Blizzard have recently been sending out some more surveys for WoW Classic, this time related to changes that might be implemented for the "Classic Era" servers aka those that will not be progressing on to the Burning Crusade when it is released.
The questions imply the possibility of something of a Classic+, with new features being added and the game possibly evolving past Vanilla into its own ecosystem, and lasting a long time to come.
As spotted by Warcraft Tavern, there are several pages of questions asking about Classic Era servers, specifically:
Advanced layering, where lower population realms would be combined into server groups and players would actually be able to interact between those servers. Possible new quality of life only additions to Vanilla Classic. Possible new content for Vanilla Classic, including "significant changes or new features" that might "dramatically change aspects of the game experience".
Source.
Check out the full post over at Warcraft Tavern with a few more questions related to switching over to BC at all and which server players would most like to play on related to new changes added.

The Burning Crusade Classic Internal Alpha has begun.
The wowdev2 branch has been recently updated with a new patch! The very first patch of the Burning Crusade Classic is 2.5.0 Build 37796. While we currently have no information when the game becomes available for testing for content creators, make sure to opt in to the Beta today!

Achievements have come to Classic! Well, sort of, and not all of them. RinesThaix has put together about 140 achievements to collect, but the mod is constantly being updated so there should be more soon.
The Classic Achievements addon lets you not only gather those points up but also share and compare them, as you can link them in chat!
English and other languages are also supported.
If you want to check out how it looks in action, here's MrGM taking it for a spin:

Blizzard have stated that the BC Classic beta is coming soon, but didn't specify when exactly. Today the Battle.net launcher's app catalog was updated with the TBC Internal Alpha, visible only to Blizzard but datamineable nonetheless!
Right at the bottom there, the Internal Alpha most likely won't last too long and many have speculated that the beta won't be too long either, as there aren't as many issues to be dealt with as there were for Vanilla Classic. The release date is up in the air but hopefully Blizzard won't put it too close to patch 9.1, as many players will want to play both.
In any case all we can do now is make sure we've opted-in to the beta (here) and wait!
